The Loop Fantasy Football Report Week 9: Cousins hard to replace for Vikings, fantasy mavens

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:20:43 GMT

Replacing a productive quarterback with a torn Achilles’ tendon can be tough for a professional football team like, say, your Minnesota Vikings.But losing someone like Kirk Cousins at the midway point of the fantasy football season can be equally crushing.The Vikings are turning to rookie Jaren Hall and recently acquired journeyman Josh Dobbs in the hopes of salvaging their so-far 4-4 campaign. For fantasy mavens needing a sudden replacement for No. 8, the prospects aren’t much rosier.The QB quarterback shortage has never been more acute than this week, thanks to starters who are injured (Justin Fields, Matthew Stafford, Deshaun Watson) and standouts who are on bye (Trevor Lawrence, Jared Goff, Russell Wilson, Brock Purdy).Where can you turn? Here are five guys you might still be able to claim on waivers:Sam Howell (Commanders) – If you’re lucky, this under-the-radar guy is still available. But his 2,146 passing yards and 13 TD passes in the first eight games probably have landed hi...

The Gophers football team enter November with its bowl projections all over the map — from Tampa to Tennessee, and Detroit to Dallas.Minnesota (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) has four more conference games to better determine where the Gophers might go in December, but three popular picks have emerged among 11 projections reviewed by the Pioneer Press on Wednesday.The most-popular pick is the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit, which means prognosticators don’t think too highly of how the Gophers will finish the regular season.
